Sukkot - The Feast of Tabernacles

  In the Twenty-third chapter of Leviticus the Lord spoke to Moses about establishing seven major feasts.    Leviticus 23:1-2 reads, “And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, ‘ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them:    ‘the feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim  to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.’” The first of these seven feasts is Passover. Passover always comes in the first month of the year on the Hebrew religious calendar.    The seventh and last of the feasts comes in the fall of the year in the seventh month.    It is the Feast of Tabernacles. Although there is a total of seven feasts (the divine number for perfection or completeness in the Bible), God divided the seven festivals into three major festival seasons. Every male was to present themselves before the Lord three times in a year in each festival group.    The Jewish male would travel to Jerusalem for Passover in the spring, Pentecost at the end of spring, and the Feast of Tabernacles in the fall

Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.   The four living creatures, each having six wings
